Silence Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

It hung like a ton of steel,
Still and lifeless,
Yet there was something
Graceful, beautiful
About it, though
It seemed to stop
The life around,
Bringing a serenity
That was rare to come by,
Making it more lovable,
Sounds seeming to freeze
In it's grip so tremendous,
And a calmness, quietness
Felt seldom anytime,
With an inner peace
So profound it seemed
To prevade everywhere,
Conquering time and space,
This silence is grand
To feel for all the time,
Yet so rare to attain.
